Trea Turner and Josh Bell hit run-scoring singles in the sixth inning, and the Washington Nationals beat the Cincinnati 5-3 Thursday in the completion of a suspended game.
Washington led 3-0 when Wednesday night’s game was suspended in middle of the fourth inning following a rain delay of 3 hours, 4 minutes.
The interrupted game resumed ahead of Thursday night’s scheduled game, which was shortened to seven innings under pandemic doubleheader rules. Sonny Gray (0-3) was to start for Cincinnati and Stephen Strasburg (1-1) for the Nationals.
Austin Voth (1-0) allowed two hits in two scoreless innings after Joe Ross had pitched four scoreless innings on Wednesday.
